[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED is a scam to improve yield. It should be abolished.  [/quote]

It’s also a wonderful way [b]for families like ours[/b] to demonstrate[b] absolute commitment to one chosen school and enjoy the statistical advantage that confers.[/b]  It’s a great option among many available options and it should be preserved [/quote]

Exactly.  It's affirmative action for the wealthy.[/quote]   :twisted:  I was thinking the same thing!

"Statistical advantage" applies only to donation amounts. Legacy is not an "option." It's a priority for the advancement office. Just like athletes are for athletics. URMs for Diversity Office, etc.

None of us should flatter ourselves that any university in this century actually cares.

Besides, FG/LI is the highest priority for top schools. Between a poor, white, rural kid and bougie Black kid with same stats, they'll basically toss a coin.

Checkout Questbridge partner schools if you don't believe me.[/quote]
